Lincoln, you are a fantastic banjo player! I just read the article in Bluegrass Unlimited and you have a lot to be proud of. I know Sonny would be proud of you! Keep the music alive!

Simply fantastic!

[@Trapper4265]

Bravo! 👏 I was looking for you to shake out the right hand after you finished. 😆 Sonny would be smiling if he could hear it. Good job!

Good Pickens keep up the good work

[@jerrycounts4482]

That is some really great banjer pickin' Lincoln!

[@DanPurdy1]

Such excellent playing and musical like Sonny’s playing. No hammering on to show chops, there for the music.

[@MeerschaumMaven]

Awesome

[@elviaheredia6539]

He looks so young. Think this has to be something older than one year ago. Either way seems to be a very smart youngster.

Respect....and does it come with free lessons?

[@davycrokett3862]

Hey lh that's a good banjer making it sound good

[@wesvanderpool97]

Was there more than one Son-flower like that? I know someone that always said they owned that one but don’t remember the gold looking like that.

[@lincolnhensley3501]

Not that I know of. The rest had a different inlay pattern in the peghead, white binding, Pearl block at 15th instead of 21, and the gold and engraving were a little different.

[@oldmanfred8676]

😎👍

[@ScottDavis-nj8yw]

Very nice

[@muttandjeff5213]

What did the instrument go for at auction?🤔

[@Wootangtw]

I’d like to know that too… I’d love to have had it…

[@HemiJoel]

What is the trust fund?

You are a great Scruggs style picker and I can tell you appreciate Sonny's playing...but... have you ever heard Bobby's son, Wynn, pick? I think he has the best right hand EVER...Sonny himself stated that " Wynn is THE BEST. CASE CLOSED."

[@lincolnhensley3501]

Yep, Wynn is one of my favorites. Love his banjo album from when he was young.

@@lincolnhensley3501 Thats me on the cover of the album Five string Magic holding the electric bass...I played bass for him for a couple of years.
